Abstract
Summary(1) Contrary to Brakefield, and in agreement with Quick, we find that in humans an appreciable quantity of benzoic acid is excreted as the glucuronide. The ingestion of 5, 6, and 7 g of benzoic acid leads to an excretion of some 5% in the form of its glucuronide. The ingestion of 8 g gives a higher figure (7.7%). (2) The maximum excretion occurs in the first 3 hours. Detoxication by glucuronic acid is complete in 9 to 15 hours, depending on the amount of benzoic acid ingested.
